I have just purchased a Lodge at Ladram Bay ex9 7bx and the signal keeps braking up. Can you recommend
the best Arial to use please. I have re-tuned my Sony KD55X8509CBU 55 several times.

Kind regards

Alan

Alan: Hi Alan. You need to use what we call a "grouped aerial". For the Sidmouth relay transmitter, which is what you should be using at Ladram Bay is a group C/D or a group E aerial, mounted so that the little rods are vertical, with the aerial pointing in an East-North-East direction towards Sidmouth. I can recommend an online aerial supplier who will supply you with the correct aerial and a mounting kit for a reasonable price. This company will get the aerial and kit to you within a couple of days of ordering on a weekday, or you can find a supplier for yourself, local to the Sidmouth or East Devon locality. Hope this helps, Richard in Norwich.
